Once upon a time, Clay Cooper was part of Saga, the most famous (and infamous) band in the land, fighting back monsters, saving villages, diving deep into the heart of Heartwyld, the perilous forest that covers a huge swath of land between Agria and the city of Castia. For the past couple of decades, however, the members of Saga have gone their own ways, settling down and, well, getting old and out of shape. But when Saga frontman Gabe shows up on Clay's doorstep with plans of getting the band back together to rescue his daughter from a monster horde in Castia, well, the old guys dust off their swords and battleaxes to strike out into the Wyld one more time.
This was a fun book to read, full of references to both fantasy quests and aging rock bands. It's equally full of humor and creative beasts, sometimes at the same time (owlbears! bards that fair as well as Spinal Tap's bassists!). So much fun, and a great reunion tour for Saga.
